"Basar Sengklek brother, from the first hobby to make mellow emotions," grumbled Arum while continuing his work splitting and cutting kale vegetables.
Mother Fia just smiled to see the behavior of her two children who look still as familiar as before even though they rarely met.
"Don't grumble in the morning! not good for facial skin health, how can wrinkles later?" Mother Fia who saw Arum's face filled with annoyance tried to comfort him.
"Since Brother Steve really makes me sprained hobby," complained Arum.
"Not to be ignored! Your brother likes to joke, besides if you put a sullen face like that in front of the husband then not the reward you will get but sin, already do not frown!" Mother Fia approached and sat right next to Arum to make Arum smile again.
"Would you reward yourself with just a smile?" ask Arum who just found out if a smile can bring rewards.
"Have you ever heard the term smile is worship?" Mother Fia did not immediately answer Arum's question but asked back.
"Arum has ever been horrified, but what does it have to do with sin if you frown in front of your husband?" Arum is still very careful in studying Islamic law, but not with Mother Fia who has long enough to deepen her religious knowledge even though only through personal customs without having to be a santri like Uqi.
"Look, son, we smile in front of the husband automatically makes our husband happy to look at us, then the huge reward we will get, the husband will be, but if we put on a pouting face that makes our husband feel lazy to memamdang even sometimes we often snap it unconsciously when our face is pouting." Mother Fia again gave advice that might be useful for the Princess.
"I understand Mother, thank you for teaching me so many things," said Arum with a feeling so sincere, Arum was so grateful for having a Mother like Mother Fia. Teaching her many things that she believed would be very beneficial for her later on.
Mother Fia smiled sincerely looking at her daughter, the little girl who used to always follow behind her with laughter and funny babbles has now become a woman with mature thoughts.
"May you always be happy, son," a thread of hope came out from the lips of Mother Fia.
"Amin, thank you for your prayers, Mother" said Arum as he shifted the place closer and embraced the Mother full of haru.
If Arum gets so much space from the Mother then it is different from Desy who is currently sitting alone in the room. Last night his head suddenly dizzy and his body temperature was also hot, whereas previously Desy did not feel any complaints, because of illness Desy was forced to not enter school and rest in the room alone.
"Oh yeah, what's Mas Huda's gift?" lirih Desy suddenly recalled one gift box that she had hidden last night.
With a slow step towards his head that still feels throbbing Desy walked towards a large suitcase that is usually used when returning from boarding school.
Overnight there are many prohibited objects found, ranging from letters, photos, novels, and comics, to roses with paper-taped love statement sign, all of these objects are not allowed to be in pesantren because according to the nanny such items can damage the concentration of santri learning.
Sraaakk ....
"Well, isn't this the robe I picked yesterday?" lirih Desy when she saw the two games she had chosen at the boutique yesterday, Huda not only gave the game, he also gave some silv**. Whether Huda knew it or not the chocolate he gave Desy was Desy's favorite chocolate.
Desy is actually not the type of girl who likes to indulge in distress or sadness, he prefers to enjoy the sadness and heartache of being alone accompanied by a bar of chocolate which he thinks is able to relieve the little pain he has.
But things are different when Desy is near Arum and Huda, two different people who have almost the same nature. Both are not the type of people who like to tell their stories to others, they will only be listeners and keep the story to themselves.
"Why did Mas Huda give me this robe and chocolate?" Desy began to think a lot about Huda's intention to send him gifts until a letter was seen among the piles of chocolate in front of him.
Assalamualaikum Desy,
Earlier I'm sorry if the arrival of this gift can bother you.
Thank you for giving me so many cool words that don't directly make me who just broke my heart realize that he's not my destiny, nor was it created from my ribs, you are a good and wise girl. Accept the little things that may not be pleasing to your heart, but I sincerely give them to you and I hope you can accept. More so if you wear the robe you choose, then I will be more grateful.
Once again thank you for everything, I'm grateful to be able to meet a girl like you.
^^^Salam manis^^
^^^Huda.^^^
Wassalam ....
Desy's lips instantly curled up after reading a letter typed by Huda, Desy really never expected to get a gift like this from a person who looked so hard to reach, honestly, since the first time Desy saw Huda with all the charisma he had made Desy's heart that had been empty for quite a long time now began to fill. Although Desy knew very well that Huda was not a socially equal but she never intended to erase or forget the feelings that began to grow in her heart, for Desy his feelings grew because of the destiny and grace of the almighty, then Desy can only leave it to the creator of the taste.
Desy's head instantly improved after reading a letter from Huda, Desy immediately stood up and tried the robe given by Huda. What a surprising and happy day for Desy.
"Mbak Desy!" call a santri who is standing right in the middle of the door and look at what Desy is doing.
Desy was spinning looking at herself in front of the sizable mirror that was in her room.
"Eh, i~iya Ma'am, what's up?" suhut Desy nervously mixed with shame.
"Bak still sick or healed?" seloroh the santri, who was confused, the article had just been called by Huda nephew Abi Zham pesantren owner to give a packet of chicken porridge to Desy who he said was sick, but the situation was inversely proportional when Santri arrived in the room, he saw Desy circling in front of the mirror with a smile that expands looking fresh and fit.
